Uranium

• July 19 -- Failing to Own Up to Joe Wilson's Credibility Collapse
When will the NYT admit its favorite anti-war horse has come up lame?

• July 15 -- Bush Right on Uranium, but Marquis Misses the Scoop
Christopher Marquis covers the British report on problems with prewar intelligence but misses a big part of the story validating Bush's assertion that Saddam Hussein was shopping around for uranium.

• July 14 -- Times (Finally) Tackles Joseph Wilson
At last, the Times broaches the lost credibility of its former anti-war favorite, Amb. Joseph Wilson of uranium and Niger fame--but shuns the heart of the issue.

• July 12 -- Say It Ain't So, Joe (Wilson)
The Senate intelligence report has new insight on what the U.S. knew about Saddam Hussein's attempt to acquire uranium from Africa--and Ambassador Joseph Wilson's lack of credibility. But the Times, which boosted Wilson, glosses over the finding. Not so the Washington Post.

• April 7 -- "Preventable" 9-11 Puts Rice on the Spot?
David Sanger and Philip Shenon again claim Condoleezza Rice is under pressure, since the 9-11 commission thinks the WTC attacks were preventable. But commission leaders have never pinned blame on Bush or Rice. Also, the "uranium from Niger" legend returns.

• August 8 -- Times Hacks Bob Novak Facts
Douglas Jehl sympathizes with the trials of Joseph Wilson, the instigator of the Bush-uranium-Niger controversy, and accuses columnist Robert Novak of outing his wife as a “covert C.I.A. operative.” Well, Novak didn’t, but Jehl apparently just did.

• July 16 -- Kristof’s Conspiratorial Sources
Columnist Nicholas Kristof pounces on the controversial sentence in Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address concerning Saddam seeking uranium in Africa: “After I wrote a month ago about the Niger uranium hoax in the State of the Union address, a senior White House official chided me gently....” But Bush didn’t refer to Niger. Kristof also notes a group of “retired spooks” are calling for VP Cheney’s resignation without mentioning the group’s ties to a left-wing group and its suggestion the toppling of Saddam’s statute was a set-up.
